Yep, very interesting technique, I’ve seen it done before when tying a PT wrapping the pheasant tail herl around the wire but never dubbing. I’ve got some very fine wire so I’m going to give it a try on a soft hackle nymph.
Thanks for the link.

Most things have been done before, I've been dubbing on wire for a long time. Muzz Wilson used to dub onto chenille, tubing, wires etc. basically anything that you were able to wrap onto a hook.
I don't have a decent example, the interesting part is seeing the flies wet, depending on the dubbing used. This is a photo I took ages ago whilst in London for a 6 mth stint. The dubbing was supplied for a swap on another forum.
